Converse. Are they narrow?

[fluffiphlox]

And could I wear men's?

I've got wide feet and find them ok but there isn't a lot of room to spare. I find them pretty much unisex.

I wear youths converse shoes not they are fine what do you mean mens?

There's no men's/women's and yes they are narrow.

Well I thought there were converse made on women's and men's lasts and wondered whether the men's were huge compared to the women's, which I thought were on perhaps on the narrow side.

I've got wide feet and need to go up half a size (I'm 6.5 but wear 7). The laces are adjustable, so loosen them at the toes, and wear them around the house for a few days to break them in, they'll be just right there's more breaking in involved in hi-tops, ime.

Too narrow for me, yes (but I do have wide feet with high insteps)

Thanks for the replies.

I think they're pretty narrow. I couldn't wear mine while pregnant because my feet swelled up.

I have wide feet but they fit me fine because the canvas is flexible and obviously with them being lace up, that gives you more flexibility too. Took me a couple of weeks to break them in but i wear them all the time now

Mine are youths so unisex tbh i thought an adult size 7 was a size 7 especially in trainers

i find them too narrow and also far too thin on the soles. They are overpriced plimsolls

Well yes, they are plimsolls. Not intended for every day wear.

I'm sure there's a men's and women's because my friend has two pairs in the same size and ones bigger than the other. Before I thought they were all the same, you could just compare them in a shop I suppose.

And yes they are narrow.

I found them much to narrow and opted for rocket dog instead

They hurt my little toes if I wear them all day as I have wide ish fat feet but they look good so it's worth it. Mine are size 6 even though I'm size 7, I would suggest going small but definitely try some on first.

Thanks again. I think I need to go to an actual shop and attempt to shove my giant trotters into a few pairs. Hate shoe shops.

Oh yes, Rocket Dog have lovely wide toes.

It depends on the Converse style, I think.

I've got two pairs. One is the bog standard pump style, the other is chunkier and rounder. They're sturdier than the pumps.

I've got wide Hobbit feet but I'm ok with them no I've worn them a bit.

my usual size split at the sides twice, went up half a size and they were fine. this was in the unisex basic pump.

I find the real Converse narrow. And have a bunion to show for it

Sports Direct do a copy (Dunlop) for much much less money, which are more comfortable

I have narrow feet and I find them narrow. Dh doesn't have particularly wide feet and they cut his feet to shreds.

I have wide feet and I can't wear converse. I'm also a 6.5 and they don't do half sizes - the 6 is too small and the 7 is too long and too narrow.

I wear Rocket Dogs or Supergas which are both wider and fit better. Although Rocket Dogs don't do a 6.5/40 their 6 fits me fine. Supergras do a 39.5 or a 40 which both fit me.

The sizes have changed recently. I've always been a 7. Bought a new pair of size 7s the other day and they were like boats. So had to get 6s. I haven't been a size 6 AS an adult ever. Really frustrating if they've started vanity sizing shoes now.

The end bit is awful, rubs my heels so much that they are unwearable.

I size up for Converse.
